So what did you read over the holidays? Our best read was Jeffrey Archer's new one: A Prisoner of Birth. Easy read, very entertaining, good guys win and a page-turner.

I am reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to my daughter right now. We have been reading it over a period of time now. She flips from book to book. I like true to life stuff, things to learn from if I can. Magazines I read and have some books to get through also. Finished one towards the end of last year called the Guvnor...Biography of a street fighter/gang guy back in London.

I have a bad habit of reading two or three books at the same time.
Right now I'm busy with 'The world according to Clarkson', Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenence, and 'The Soldiers War' (diaries from the trenches 1914-18)
Been busy with 'The Seven Pillars of Wisdom' for about ten years!

I'm reading a Christmas gift book: Michael Crichton's last novel - State of Fear

Only managed to read David Coulthhards' autobiography :y115:
I remember reading a book once at school :silent:
My reading is diverse. A bible sits on my bedside table, I am addicted to anything Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child write especially the Agent Pendergast series. Tyrannosaur Canyon by Preston was also very good. A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking is a must read. Right now I am reading Kill Zone by Jack Couglin, he is a Ret USMC Gunnery SGT. this is his first book and it is very good. I used to be into conservative political books but I am burnt out on politics.
I read every day.

My daughter found the autobiographies of actors Tony Curtis and Robert Wagner on a bargain book table and wrapped them up for me for Christmas.
I'm not normally interested in actors or celebs very much but I read both books and they were quite good. I've always liked both actors. Their views of Hollywood and the behind-the-scenes look through the years was interesting.
My wife gave me the Long Way Down book too and I've just started reading that.

I am currently reading some of Clive Cussler's books and I read three over the holidays.
We also read: Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the game that made a nation. Excellent!
Thanks for all the posts - I've now garnered a decent reading list for the next few months. Nothing like a personal recommendation on a book instead of a critic's review. :y114:

I wrapped up Neal Stephenson's "Cryptonomican" over the holidays (for the second time). If you haven't read any of Stephenson's books, you are missing possibly the best author of the decade. This past year I also read his Baroque trilogy (now broken in 9 books) which was astoundingly good, especially if you are into science, math or history (Isaac Newton is a principal character in the trilogy and the title of the first book is "Quicksilver"). If you are now into huge multi=thousand page novels, then try his book "Snow Crash" (a must for William Gibson fans).
